“Look Harry, as sure as my name is Amelia Quashie,” the inspector said with a friendly smile, “you’ll be going down for another four or five years!” Inspector Quashie had a way of saying the most dreadful things in a seemingly pleasant way.

“On the other hand, if you helped us with a little information about a friend of yours… we might be able to convince the judge that as you are giving all the money back to Mr. Thornton, you have realised that your old evil ways are to be considered a thing of the past.

“Harry, I’ll be honest with you,” Inspector Quashie continued in her beautifully modulated deep voice, “I’ll put all my cards on the table and if you don’t want to help us I’ll just have to leave you to your fate!”

As Daisy heard the conversation through the special glass mirror she smiled to herself in satisfaction, this was because her client Mr. Thornton had confided in her when he lost his savings to Harry, and now he would be getting all his money back and could live in peace without worrying about his future.

“As you know, Harry is in a safe house but as I was trying to put my earrings on this morning I kept dropping them, and I said to myself, ‘Amelia, something’s up!’ The same thing used to happen to my grandmother when something was about to go wrong.”

But apparently one of his most dangerous henchmen, a Charles Empoli, who was in the same prison as him, got out yesterday, I mean – he was released from prison on probation and has to report to the police station every evening.

Amelia tried to explain, “It seems that our chief witness, Harry, has a daughter of nearly fourteen, Alina, who I never even knew existed, and her mother reported to the police this morning that her house was being watched by Charles Empoli, Coffee Anderson’s henchman!

“Well, the lady’s not his wife any more but apparently Harry is very fond of his daughter even though he hasn’t seen much of her in the past few years owing to the fact he’s been detained at Her Majesty’s pleasure several times!”

In the early hours of the morning a car arrived with Alina and her suitcase and Daisy discreetly beckoned Alina to come inside whilst the driver of the car handed Daisy the suitcase and drove off immediately.

As Daisy couldn’t leave Alina alone, she left her detective work on hold and decided to get up to scratch with all her bills and payments and other boring things that she always put off as long as she could.

Apparently he was attacking your father verbally and threatening him when he suddenly slumped over.” Daisy continued speaking to Inspector Quashie, “Yes, I’ll tell Alina there’s no more danger and that she can see her mother at last!”
